MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Lake Harriet’s Art Shanty Projects opened late on Sunday. Organizers kept visitors away because of extremely cold weather in the morning.
Art Shanty Projects delay
What we know:
“We knew people would still come out in subzero temperatures,” Lavelle told FOX 9. “We love the subzero days because the ice keeps building and real winter adventurers come out.”
Visitors throughout the day stayed warm by dancing and sitting near fires.
“Oh, it’s pretty mild. It’s like Alaska spring weather,” visitor Jennifer Nelson said.
Winter clothing giveaway
What they’re saying:
There was also a shanty with free clothes available to anyone who came underdressed.
“I’m not cold at all. I’m sweating and my extremities are just fine,” volunteer Alo Osberg said.
The Art Shanty Projects will be open on Saturdays and Sundays through February 9th.
